I'll have to look at these pictures when I get home as the base computers (for those of us temporarily assigned to the base here in the Middle East) don't allow the pictures to open. But you're right, the AT and Shenandoah Valley are beautiful this time of year.

I found out a couple of years ago that I had kin from Scotland who settled down near Staunton around the 1730s. One of these days I need to get down that way to see the land they settled on. Last time I was down there I didn't know the family history.
